This was the other movie I was told I needed to watch. My daughter watched The Snow Creature, so I owed it to her to watch these.
Um, how do I describe this? A professor has a "daughter" that turns into a giant moth and sucks the blood out of people. Detective Peter Cushing is tracking the killer, but nothing seems to be adding up. And once he figures out the professor is the guilty party, he decides to go undercover and take his own daughter into danger.
The professor created the moth woman, and now he's creating a mate for her. He's regretting his decision since she keeps sneaking out and draining men. She also has a love/hate relationship with fire that is extremely confusing. She mentions a couple times she hates fire, but then that's the thing that kills her. What?
The movie is only 90 minutes, but it was not that interesting. Mom fell asleep. I'm going to tell you what made it tolerable for me: subtitles. I have no idea who created them, but it was like I was in charge of the subtitles for a German movie. I have a beginner's knowledge of German, so it would look real bad and barely make sense. At one time, the man said, "yes," and the subtitles said, "no." The other one was when someone asked who was in charge and the subtitles said, "Who is the manager?"
Anyway, the movie was pretty bad. Peter Cushing and awful subtitles couldn't save it. The "moth" was creepy and weird. Not in a good way. And why wasn't the detective watching out for his daughter? I mean she didn't have any self-preservation skills, so I didn't feel too bad for her. What kind of detective's daughter doesn't know what stranger danger is?! I was glad when this one was over.
